Unable to load the Help document.

Message Type:

Symptom:
This error message is displayed when you try to launch the Cisco Plug and Play User Guide or Troubleshooting Guide from the Cisco Plug and Play Application.

Solution:
Make sure that you have Adobe PDF Reader installed on your laptop.

Bootstrap configuration download failed

Message Type:
Error message

Symptom:
The bootstrap configuration download has failed.

Solution:
Do the following:

Verify the status of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway to ensure that they are up and running. If they are not, restart the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway.

Make sure that proper IP connectivity exists between your laptop and the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway.

Deployment server not configured. Configure the deployment server before you begin downloading the configuration.

Message type:Error message.

Symptom:This error message is displayed when the bootstrap configuration download prompts you to use a valid PIN.

Solution:Before downloading the bootstrap configuration, make sure that you configure the Cisco Prime Infrastructure and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway fields on the Settings page.

Communication failed. Check the Plug and Play Gateway settings and the server status.

Message Type:Error message

Symptom:This error message is displayed when you try to save the Settings information and it fails.

Solution:
Do the following:

Verify that Cisco Prime Infrastructure and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway are up and running. If they are not, restart the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway.

Make sure that proper IP connectivity exists between your laptop and the Cisco Prime Infrastructure server and the Cisco Plug and Play Gateway.

Symptom:This error message is displayed when you request a bootstrap download using a PIN.

Solution:Verify that the Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Plug and Play Gateway are up and running. If they are not, restart the server.
Make sure that proper IP connectivity exists between your laptop and the Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Plug and Play Gateway.
If the Cisco Plug and Play HTTPS port is configured with non-default, reconfigure the application settings with the correct HTTPS port.

Deploy option is not enabled even after connecting the Cisco Plug and Play Application with the device

Message Type:

NA

Symptom:

This error is seen when the necessary drivers are not installed for the USB Console cable.

Solution:

You must manually install the necessary drivers for the USB Console cable, and then connect the cable.

Logging in to the device even after disconnecting the cable

Message Type:

NA

Symptom:

The user removes the USB Console cable while the Cisco Plug and Play Application is still connected to the device. The Cisco Plug and Play Application displays a message that it is connecting/logging in to the device. This happens because the connector acts as a proxy for the Cisco Plug and Play Application.

Solution:

Close the Cisco Plug and Play Application and open it again.

Device Deployment failed

Message type:

Error Message

Symptom:

The Cisco Plug and Play Application deploys all the configured CLIs to the device and waits for the CNS configuration initial to succeed. If the CNS configuration initial is not initiated due to device issues, the Cisco Plug and Play Application will wait for two mins to check if the initial configuration is initiated. After two mins, if the device has still not initiated the CNS configuration initial, the Cisco Plug and Play Application will display a message that the deployment has failed.

Solution:

You must troubleshoot to assess the possible reasons for CNS initial not being triggered.

Deployment failed, but the device configuration is not reset to initial state

Message Type:

NA

Symptom:

When deployment fails due to a valid reason, and the configuration on the device is not reset to its initial state.

Solution:

The Cisco Plug and Play Application will back up the configuration, and reset only on factory default routers (day zero). Resetting to the factory default state is not done on day1 devices.
